Objective To analyze the current status and latent profiles on the decision fatigue of nurses. Methods A total of 812 nurses from four public tertiary hospitals in Guangdong Province were selected as the research subjects using the convenience sampling method. The Decisional Fatigue Scale, the Nursing Work Environment Scale, the Nurses Job Stress Scale, and the Chinese version of 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale were used to assess the level of decision fatigue, work environment, job stress level, and resilience among nurses. The characteristics of latent profiles on the decision fatigue of nurses were analyzed, and multinomial logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of latent profiles on the decision fatigue of nurses. Results The median and 25th and 75th percentiles of the scores of the decision fatigue of nurses were 10.0 (9.0, 15.0). The average scores for work environment, job stress, and resilience were (107.9±24.0), (86.1±23.8), and (23.6 ± 8.3), respectively. The result of latent profile analysis showed that the decision fatigue of nurses could be classified into three types: low fatigue-energetic, medium fatigue-avoidant and high fatigue-burnout, accounting for 15.0%, 59.6%, and 25.4%, respectively. The results of multinomial logistic regression showed that the risk of being classified as medium fatigue-avoidant was higher among practice nurse than nurse (P<0.05). Nurse with a monthly income of 5 000 to 10 000 yuan had higher risk of being classified as medium fatigue-avoidant than those with >10 000 yuan (P<0.05). And nurse with poorer work environment scores had higher risk of being classified as medium fatigue-avoidant than those with higher scores (P<0.01). Nurse with higher score on job stress and lower score on resilience had higher risk of being classified as medium fatigue-avoidant and high fatigue-burnout, than those with lower score of job stress and higher score on resilience (all P<0.01). Conclusion There is a heterogeneity in the decision fatigue of nurses, which can be categorized into three categories: low fatigue-energetic, medium fatigue-avoidant and high fatigue-burnout. The influencing factors of latent profile on the decision fatigue of nurses are job title, individual monthly income, work environment, job stress, and resilience.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of meaning in life between family care and subjective well-being of family caregivers of community disabled elderly, and provide reference for improving caregivers' mental health.Methods:From August 2019 to August 2020, A total of 526 family caregivers of disabled elderly from several communities in Guangzhou were household surveyed by general information questionnaire, family APGRA index, Chinese meaning in life questionnaire and general well-being schedule.SPSS 22.0 software was used for descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and mediating effect analysis.AMOS 22.0 software was used for structural equation model construction, and Bootstrap method was used for mediation effect test.Results:The score of subjective well-being, family care, meaning in life of family caregivers of disabled elderly were (69.41±19.17), (6.42±2.56), (42.96±7.61), respectively.The family care was positively correlated with meaning in life and subjective well-being ( r=0.275, 0.289, both P<0.01) and a positive correlation was found between meaning in life and subjective well-being ( r=0.345, P<0.01). Meaning in life had a partial mediating effect between family care and subjective well-being.The mediating effect value was 4.304, accounting for 30.6% of the total effect value. Conclusion:The family care can directly or indirectly affect caregivers' subjective well-being through meaning in life.

Objective:To explore the status of post-traumatic growth and meaning in life among family caregivers of the disabled elderly in the community, and to analyze the correlation between the two.Methods:From August 2019 to August 2020, convenience sampling was used to select 560 family caregivers of the disabled elderly in the community of Guangzhou as the research object. The General Information Questionnaire, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) and the Chinese Meaning in Life Questionnaire (C-MLQ) were used for the investigation. Pearson correlation and hierarchical regression were used to analyze the correlation between post-traumatic growth and meaning in life in family caregivers of the disabled elderly. A total of 560 questionnaires were distributed, and 526 valid questionnaires were recovered after excluding incomplete questionnaires and answering questionnaires according to a certain rule.Results:The total scores of PTGI and C-MLQ of 526 family caregivers of the disabled elderly were (49.43±20.43) and (42.96±7.61) , respectively. The total score of PTGI and the scores of each dimension were positively correlated with the total score of C-MLQ and the two dimensions of meaning experience and meaning pursuit ( P<0.01) . The hierarchical regression showed that, after controlling for general data, both meaning experience and meaning pursuit could positively predict post-traumatic growth. Conclusions:Post-traumatic growth of family caregivers of disabled elderly is at low level. Family caregivers' meaning in life has a positive effect on post-traumatic growth. Community workers should strengthen the meaning in life education, help caregivers to effectively cope with traumatic events, improve the level of post-traumatic growth, and promote mental health.
